Winning combo: With roots in Shreveport, Louisiana, and a heart for the legacy of Nashville’s music scene, country artist Jordan Davis broke big via the internet when his debut album Home State racked up over 1 billion worldwide streams.

The result so far is two platinum No. 1 hits, “Take It From Me” and “Singles You Up.”
